A few pioneer neurophysiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and researchers from many disciplines and countries gave birth to the field of intraoperative neuromonitoring over 30 years ago when together they realized that there was a need and a means for providing better patient care. Their interest and efforts resulted in numerous subsequent international meetings, spawned the establishment and growth of various professional societies, and ignited a growing interest in IOM. All of this would not have occurred without the contributions and support of countless individuals who dedicated a significant part of their professional lives and resources to the field of IOM. It is to these various pioneers and individuals that we dedicate this book.
